Day 68 in my Photo Blog Journey

A girls horse....This horse has a special story..you see this horse follows me every where I go...and it likes to show up some of the strangest place... it likes to eat supper off my plate. This is no ordinary horse...its my daughter Abigails horse. She painted this horse a few years ago and  set it on her bookcase. The other day this horse started showing up...in the kitchen while I cooked , by my plate while I eat. So I decided to take a picture of Abigails Horse...because on day it will be thrown down and forgotten ...so I took a picture of Abigails horse, so no one will forget

Day 67 in my photo journey blog

Today's picture is of my MOST favorite day lily in my yard....it is a peach and purple old fashion Victorian lady...I bought one of these about 6 years ago..When we moved I dug it up and brought it with me..the only problem is It wont multiply! I would love to have bunches of these! Maybe if I keep trying I will get it to multiply!

Day 66 in my photo blog journey

The American Flag....Today's picture is of a flag my Dad put at the end of our road in celebration of Memorial Day. He is a very patriotic person. I don't know why this flag fascinated me today as we were headed to town. I tought "how very patriotic this little flag is" This little flag stands for so much, and is such a great reminder to us that we need to thank all the men and women who have fought for our freedom. So a BIG THANK YOU to my Dad, Gary ( US Air Force) and to my Husband, Jason ( US Navy)

Day 64 in my photo blog journey

The sunflower.....this is a picture of one of my sunflowers getting ready to bloom. I thought this was a neat picture. Its really hard sometimes to watch a flower open up. Most open up in a mater of minutes to hours. The sunflower takes around three to four days to open up fully. I will be patiently watching this sunflower to open up over the next few days!

Day 57 in my Photo Journey Blog

Today's picture is of my oldest son, Jake. Jake is 14 and 1/2 and going into the 9th grade. He is going through a stage called "Emo". I really don't like this stage he is going through. He likes to dress all in black, he wont eat, listens to this terrible music. He wants to dye his hair black and wants an earring. Come full circle ....I sound like my Mother......

Day 47 in my photo journey blog

Todays picture is of some bird eggs. I think the momma is a robin...she wont stay around long enough for me to figure it out. Anyways I recently got all my flowers out of the green house and this lil bird made herself a nest. I tried to shoo her away cause this nest is in one of my flowers! All we could see was 3 eggs. Hopefully they will hatch and no one bother them!

Day 46 in my Photo Blog Journey

 Todays picture is of a tree in our yard called a Catawba tree. And currently it is in bloom and it has Catawba Worms on it. Last year some one gave us a few worms and they stayed on the tree for a while then disappeared. Well about three weeks ago they all came back and are currently eating all the leaves on this tree. In a few weeks they will go under ground, lay eggs and die. In about two months their babies hatch, climb up the tree, eat the leaves,go underground and lay eggs. Its a nice repeat cycle all summer long!

Todays picture is of a frog! This poor frog was a play toy for my dog Skipper. After a few minutes Skipper got tired of playing with it. We took it and put it on top of the swing so Skipper could not get it. I am happy to say he is still alive and around.....

Day 43 in my photo blog journey

Today's picture is called a shell with no turtle....My son Sam found this shell yesterday. My dog skipper had been seen playing with this poor turtle all last week. We kept getting it and putting it out of Skippers way but he kept finding it. I thought this was unique...it rare to find a turtle shell with no turtle.  I do plan to keep this shell..I think I am going to clean it and lacquer it and put it in my garden somewhere...
